Try just '-option grp:toggle'. Then pressing and releasing right alt
will work as a permanent keyboard switch.
For additional options, see /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86.lst
(on RH 7.1 at least), or if this file is not present, do some grep (eg.
"shift_toggle") to find a similar one.

But in any case, shouldn't wine consider any AltGr switchers
(including both shifts, if defined) as shortcut keys (instead of
handling each modifier key independently)?
